Re: @Oglethorpe
> Commission wisely
This is where you went wrong. Those two words just don't belong together.
Let's be clear (I'm in the EU), it takes two to tango and the Commission are no less pathetic or malicious than the idiots over in Westminster. Amongst other things, they put a French far right jingoist (and a bit of a Eurosceptic himself) as head negotiator to pretty much guarantee that no deal was going to come out of it. The excuse for many a disagreement was half a dozen fishermen in a village in Brittany, never mind the 500 million of us all.
Sadly I fear that this is the Zeitgeist. :(
